GC Tea House

[Ironwatsas]

Naomi looked up and glanced at Kyosuke, before returning to her slumped over position. Steve handed her the glass and went into the pantry, clearly annoyed at Naomi's outburst.

Naomi said nothing and took several of the pills from the jar, drank down the whole glass that Steve had given her, and took some Cardamine. The effect was rapid, and Naomi's senses dulled and she lay half asleep on the bar. Her mind however, was racing. She thought back to Kiretsu, and the conduct of their pilots toward her.

The incedent had begun earlier, with most of the Kiretsu pilots launching a drunken piracy raid on several transport ships. Naomi however, had recived no cut of the proceeds, nor any wine for herself. Several insults later, she threatened to leave Kiretsu squadron given the conduct of it's ranking officers toward her, and to a lesser extent, poor Kyosuke.

Perhaps, however, she had over-reacted toward Kiretsu (save Enya, who was unfortunately past her suicidal tendancies). Most of them had befriended her. Akiko, Evie, and many of the other recruits. Though she had no intention of doing anything within the next several hours.

She simply lay on the bar and listened to the Holovision, still highly angered, and to an extent saddened at the percived lack of Comraderie of much of Kiretsu's ranking structure.
